Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,855 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NE3 3 (Newcastle Upon Tyne) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS.

NE3 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NE3 (Newcastle Upon Tyne). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical NE3 3 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £169,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 73%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE3 3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+39.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−12.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
NE3 3 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 209 sales a year before the financial crisis and 120 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around NE3 3
NE3 3 falls under Newcastle upon Tyne, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,204 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £806 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,825 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Newcastle upon Tyne
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £169,000 median sold price, £1,204 a month is £14,448 a year, a gross yield of 8.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How NE3 3 trades
This is a thin market: 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within NE3, this sector trades 42% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

The price of an extra bedroom in NE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
